Wildlife & Wilderness

Attention all nature lovers!

Home to some of the most diverse and unspoilt natural scenery in the world Canada abounds with some of the most unique scenery in the world.

Such varied landscapes range from rainforest to alpine glaciers, prairies to the frozen Arctic and all of which are home to a wealth of wildlife.

Set you eyes upon bears, moose, deer, incredible bird life and of course magnificent marine life across three oceans.

Take you pick from Orca (killer whales) in their natural environment in places like Robson Bight or Telegraph Cove along the pristine coastal waters of British Columbia.

Head to the frozen tundra of Churchill in Northern Manitoba where white Beluga Whales playfully swim past your boat.

In the East rugged Coastlines and islands abound with such natural wonders as Hopewell Rocks where you can walk on the ocean floor at low tide while above migrating sea birds make their homes.

The contrasting colours of red sandstone cliffs, white sandy beaches and green fields of Prince Edward Island make for limitless photo opportunities before you race the tide at Fundy, New Brunswick.

Even more one of a kind wildlife can be found within Canada’s vast interior such as porcupines, bald eagles, caribou all roaming the wilderness of the Great Central Plains.

Paddle up stream at Algonquin Park in your own canoe whilst keeping an eye out for moose, bears, wolves and beavers and all of this is only a few hours from the heart of Toronto.

In Canada you don’t have to travel far from major cities to sight wildlife in their natural habitat.

The Rocky Mountains are an incredible natural beauty and feature as the backbone of the North American continent.
